We’ve been watching Tawny Owls for the last few weeks with 3 chicks and didn’t dare post anything so as to protect them from unwelcome attention. It’s been absolutely fascinating & Mick has managed some great pics. They’re now fully fledged & grew so quickly it was as if they were just being inflated!

In mid April try lifting a strawberry plant from the garden & putting it in a 3 litre pot of compost, water well & keep in greenhouse or on a windowsill, it’ll produce flowers & fruits by the end of May.

Birkheads Secret Gardens is a Royal Horticultural Society Partner Garden.
